Just drove Aida from school... A bit late. Tired. Feeling a bit upset
becoz the meeting today is being canceled. Loosing hundred thousands
of rupiahs. But most of all, loosing precious time. I guess it is
gonna take a while until my company can actually become professional
:/ Hhh... I hope today ends quick. Tomorrow too.
This weekend there was nothing special happened. I just spent my
weekend by walking around, playing PS, and went to church. Yesterday
my sister turned thirty...something (it's not polite to mention a
woman age). Had a little surprise party for her yesterday at Ikan
Bakar Cianjur (Cianjur Grill Fish). Her boy friend invited my family to had dinner together
at the restaurant, he really likes that restaurant I guess. Quite
surprising since he is a pure Dutch. A Dutch guy that amazingly can say "mbencekno" and 0ther Javanese slanks fluently:D hehehe... He's nice. I really like him. It is nice if he and my sis can share a future together someday... Anyway, yesterday the dinner was planned to be started at 6.30 pm. But I was stuck in traffic jam and managed to arrived at the restaurant with my father on 7.20! While I was told later that Jos had actually arrived around 6 (to put the Black Forest taart at the restaurant, after bought it from HERO and carrying it by his motorbike), standing (well... not exactly standing, coz he said he was jongkok) outside the restaurant, behind the trees... just so my sis wouldn't noticed his presence. Oh, how sweet! ^o^ Well, my sister was actually surprised later on, coz she thought Jos was leaving for a retreat with his student to Trawas. Oh yes, he is a part-time chemistry/physics teacher at the same school where I teach... if I hadn't mentioned :p Well, people often say that bule is romantic... hmm, dunno if it is true... I guess at some point maybe it is true... Not that asian are not romantic, but european/ american are more able to express their feelings frontally... while asian are usually shy. I think it is also because of the cultural background. I have one Dutch friend that is soo active and expressive that I... we (me and other friends) are sometimes feel embarassed around him (becoz he often does stupid, unfamiliar and courageous things that we rarely do here in Asia). Hmm, my sister's boyfriend is a shy guy for his culture...
Anyway, the phone also rang the whole time in the evening and night. Relatives of Jos kept calling and sms my sis saying happy birthday. Even his nephew was talking on the phone. How thoughtful they were:) Well, I hope my sister is happy with her birthday surprise and gifts. I'll pray for both of them (Ossi and Jos). Rock on!

If you had read the email from the boss 2 or 3 days ago, you would have known that it was already announced that the meeting was postponed. So whose fault is that?
EXACTLLLYY, Carla! 2-3 days ago... I've found out about it for sure, but teaching need to be prepare before that, so I already said that I wouldn't be able to teach and asked one of my friend to fill in for me. She had already said yes... and so what should I do? I couldn't said to my friend, "Oh, so sorry, becoz the meeting is being canceled, you don't have to teach anymore this tuesday coz I'll be available again"... wah, kasian dia donk. kesannya tambal butuh bgt:p The main thing is, to not announce and delay things without prior notice. That's all I'm saying :) Thx for ur comment.
